What is the main characteristic of a chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticide?

  1. Contains nitrogen and sulfur

  2. Contains only carbon and hydrogen

  3. Contains chlorine, carbon, and hydrogen

  4. Contains phosphorus and oxygen

The correct answer is: Contains chlorine, carbon, and hydrogen

Chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides, such as DDT, are characterized by their inclusion of chlorine, carbon, and hydrogen atoms. They do not contain nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, or oxygen, which makes choices A, D, and B incorrect. It is important to note, however, that while they may contain other elements, the main characteristic and defining feature of chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides is the presence of chlorine. Therefore, option C is the most accurate choice.
